Two US soldiers in Afghanistan were killed Monday and ten wounded in a suspected insider attack, a US defense official said.

The assault in the central province of Wardak, a volatile province near the capital Kabul, also killed members of the Afghan security forces. The incident comes after Afghan President Hamid Karzai demanded the removal of US elite special forces from the area.
